    Trying to use Bluetooth game controller for simulate key presses


    I am hoping to use one of these bluetooth game controllers to simulate some keyboard presses so I can control my DIY teleprompter. I can pair it with my PC and Windows sees it as a keyboard (name MOCUTE-032X_B63-9196) but I don't know how to get the button presses to do anything. I've used SharpKeys to get scan codes from the four buttons (E0_3F65, E0_3F64, E0_3F76, E0_3F6E) but I can't do anything with them in SharpKeys because it says they're scan codes it doesn't know about. The ones that SharpKeys knows about have four characters instead of six.

    :)

  2. Computer behaving as if Windows key is pressed despite it isn't.

    Just pressing the Win- key by itself would have no effect, until either another key was pressed or until the Win- key was released. If no other key had been pressed, releasing the Win- key would cause the Start Menu to open. Doing it again would cause
    it to close.

    So, to try to simulate your symptom ("Windows Desktop comes up") and refine your symptom description better please try pressing Win+D and Win+, (Win-key plus comma). A difference is how long the effect lasts and what you need to do to undo it. There
    are other shortcuts which would have related effects but these best match your description so far (e.g. in particular since there has been no mention of Start Menu I do not want to include just pressing and releasing the Win- key alone as a possible simulation
    unless it would add to the accuracy of a simulation.)

    Also, depending on your Taskbar Settings the "Win-key plus comma" shortcut, also known as Desktop Peek can be made to occur by positioning your mouse pointer at the extreme bottom left corner of the Taskbar; so it would be a good idea to keep in mind what
    you are doing with your mouse pointer just before your problem symptom occurs.
